Superior Peace

LETTERS FROM READERS

October 22, 1999

THE END of the Clinton era can't come soon enough. Will the American public actually listen to this admitted liar as he spews more lies in regard to the test ban treaty? For the sake of some sort of legacy, President Clinton wants to put our nation at extreme risk. There have been no world wars for more than 50 years for one reason - ``the bomb.'' No country wants to be the potential recipient of it.

Reducing our capacity for using and testing only empowers countries such as India, North Vietnam, Iraq, etc., to consider military action against neighboring countries. It's like handguns in the United States. It's great that the law-abiding citizen will voluntarily give up his gun or want to make it more difficult to obtain, but the career criminal doesn't follow the same rules (or treaty, in this case).

President Clinton, please retire peacefully and allow us to maintain a peaceful existence through superior firepower.
